Chapter 764 - 482: Divergent Cultivation Philosophies, Entering the Heartbeat Realm, the Pursuit of the Saint Heir’s Position
[Your talent begins to manifest.]
[The Three Flowers at the Crown of Essence, Qi, and Spirit allow your Essence, Qi, and Spirit to flow harmoniously.]
[This makes your talent more formidable than other disciples with Dual Spirit Roots.]
[At the same time, it enables you to pursue the exploration of your heart.]
[You spent ten years cultivating, traveling the world.]
[In the mountains, in the forests, in the oceans, in the rivers.]
[You became one with nature.]
[Finally, you comprehended that trace of Spiritual Light.]
[An enigmatic and profound feeling arose spontaneously, and you explored your inner self.]
[You recalled countless times of the past...]
Heartbeat Realm.
A realm that future generations do not possess.
From a certain perspective, it is because the threshold for this realm is too high.
After all, both Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are generally methodical, continuously refining True Essence.
This is a very direct improvement visible from the physical body and True Essence Level.
To elevate one’s Life Level in this way.
Whereas the Heartbeat Realm is relatively idealistic.
It’s very difficult to describe the specifics of this realm, as it involves exploring the heart and challenging oneself.
Yet Zhao Fu vaguely senses it.
The current value of the Heartbeat Realm far surpasses the value of the Foundation Establishment in later eras.
"Or perhaps,"
"The relaxed and free environment of cultivation on the Immortal Mountain."
"Is somewhat related to the Heartbeat Realm."
Zhao Fu, who is merely at the Fusion Realm, has the right to walk in the mortal world.
Zhao Fu begins to travel and explore the world.
When he says traveling the world, he means the Thirty-One Kingdoms.
Cultivators in the Fusion Realm have strong physical prowess and high spirits; the territory of the Thirty-One Kingdoms doesn’t seem too vast to them.
Zhao Fu travels through the Thirty-One Kingdoms.
He feels increasingly aware of the vastness of the world.
The three enormous continents seem like three islands in Zhao Fu’s eyes.
Zhao Fu travels the world.
Finally, he walks upon the surface of the sea.
The Spiritual Qi in the ocean far exceeds that on land.
The dense Water Element Qi is an excellent environment for cultivating Water Attribute Techniques.
Zhao Fu can see through the seawater and observe the world belonging to the Sea Race ten thousand meters under the sea.
He faintly senses disdainful stares looking upward from the deep sea.
It is because of this disdain that the Human Race can secure a final foothold in this world.
"The heart... what is my heart..."
Zhao Fu sits cross-legged on the water’s surface, seeking his heart.
His eyes lightly closed.
Thus, sun and moon overturn, and three days and nights pass in an instant.
A slight mist rises from the water’s surface.
It fluctuates on the distant sea surface.
A giant whale leaps out of the water.
"Boom————"
A massive wave sweeps in.
Mixed with countless small fish, even some fish and shrimp are stunned on the water surface by the enormous impact.
As Zhao Fu delves deeper into his heart, a whisper that seems to come from nowhere begins to ring in his ears.
That is his Heart Demon.
Zhao Fu opens his eyes.
With the longsword at his back, he draws it and slices the wave with a single slash.
The wave splashes apart, turning into a rainbow under the sunlight.
This sword not only cuts through the wave but also shatters his Heart Demon.
So-called heartbeats are nothing more than reaffirming one’s inner choice.
In an instant, sounds cease in Zhao Fu’s ear.
In this Jiuzhou, Zhao Fu intends to be the giant whale that can stir the waters.
Rather than the insignificant fish struck unconscious on the water’s surface by the whale.
[You have officially broken through the bottleneck and entered the Heartbeat Realm.]
[Your Life Level has also advanced to Foundation Establishment.]
[Having successfully passed through the Heartbeat Realm, you return to the Immortal Mountain.]
Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain.
Floating on the sea surface.
Protected by a natural grand formation.
Mortal people find it difficult to discover the existence of the Immortal Mountain.
Only occasional glimpses allow the myths of the Immortal Mountain to continue spreading among the mundane world.
On the Immortal Mountain are grass huts, Spirit Medicine Fields, Spiritual Springs, mountain Cave Mansions.
Countless cultivators practice within them.
"Senior Brother Zhao."
Zhao Fu heads toward the mountain peak.
Along the way, the disciples of the Immortal Mountain sense Zhao Fu’s aura and all bow to him.
"How long has Senior Brother Zhao been cultivating?"
"A little over ten years, not even fifteen years."
"He actually entered the Heartbeat Realm..."
Zhao Fu walks to the Cyan Cloud Main Pavilion at the mountain top amidst the murmurs of the disciples.
An old man with white eyebrows and white hair arrives riding a cloud.
His gaze towards Zhao Fu is full of appreciation.
"Master."
Zhao Fu salutes.
"Very good, you broke through sooner than I expected."
"Since that’s the case, you may represent the White Eyebrow Lineage to compete for the position of Saint Heir."
White Eyebrow smiles slightly.
"Yes, Master." Zhao Fu does not ask what this entails.
He simply accepts.
"However, Master, I had some insights during cultivation."
"Please critique and correct me."
"Of course, go to the Main Pavilion and register first."
[You register at the Main Pavilion and become an elite disciple of the Cyan Cloud Immortal Sect.]
[Nearby elite disciples all come to the Main Pavilion to meet you.]
[There are over thirty Foundation Establishment Powerhouses within the Immortal Mountain; according to White Eyebrow, there are nearly three hundred elite disciples on Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain.]
[However, there are only nine Golden Cores.]
[Because in Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain, actual cultivation only reaches the Golden Core.]
[Regarding how to progress beyond the Golden Core, how to break through to Nascent Soul, the nine Golden Core Masters each have their own views.]
[Thus, based on different understandings of cultivation, Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain is divided into Nine Clans of Cyan Cloud, with White Eyebrow being one of them.]
[Having apprenticed under the chief master, as an elite disciple, you are qualified to engrave your name upon the Immortal Mountain.]
Most elite disciples carry a longsword.
This includes Zhao Fu, as the Heartbeat and Spirit Silence Realms are very harmonious with the Sword Dao.
Perhaps the Sword Dao and Heartbeat Spirit Silence Realms are mutually reinforcing.
